KNOWLES CEMETERY
Est. ca
1874 
Traveling west from Strong, Arkansas on
Hwy. 82(going toward El Dorado) >
turn right / north onto Sandy Bend Rd. Cemetery
is now in the back corner of a
pine tree field. Just before you reach
it is a lovely home on the left. There is a
small sign erected, but I almost missed
it looking at the huge pine tree across the
road, shown in the photo above.
This is a difficult cemetery to give
directions for, so you might wish to
stop in the area & ask someone. From
an earlier canvass done January 1991,
by Marvene Saunders & various family
provided info.
